Re: Merck Updates Prescribing Information For Rotateq®, The Company's Vaccine To Hel

[Guest guest]

Does anyone know the components in ROTATEQ? I searched the entire

site for ingredients but had no luck. I did find it CRAZY that they

said it was acceptable to give an infant ROTATEQ coinciding with the

DTP, HiB, Heb B, Polio and the pneumoniccocal. How can practitioners

really believe there is NOTHING wrong about giving a two month old

that INSANE amount of vaccines!

Here's the label info for RotaTeq: http://www.fda.gov/cber/label/rotamer021207LB1.pdf . It seems the vaccine can "shed" from 1 to 15 days after vaccination, but transmission was not not evaluated. Also not evaluated were the potentials for this vaccine to be carcinogenic, mutagenic, and to impair fertility. Wonderful! Aasasiobhancarp <siobhancarp@...> wrote: Does anyone know the components in
